00:00We've got about three and a half thousand calves turned up today and given that we had a lot of

00:04rain for the last week, we've got anywhere between four and five inches of rain. It's been enormous.

00:09A great lineup of cattle, a great lineup of buyers. We've got the sale next week,

00:14another two and a half thousand of the females will be here on the Wednesday. Today the lineup

00:20of calves were, I'm not quite sure the final top, but it was around fifteen hundred odd dollars.

00:25A magnificent run of about four lanes of it and I'd say your dollars a kilo were

00:32anywhere from sort of 390 to 440 and your weights were, probably the top end of the

00:38heavy weights were close to 400 kilos or thereabouts on your wieners. The second run of

00:44calves, some of those calves actually did 440 and 50 and they were those calves that were doing 270

00:51to around about 320 kilos. Pen after pen of it, buyers just kept going all the way. It was very,

00:58very strong. We hit it with the heavy cattle. The heavy cattle was about two lanes of those and

01:02they were the feedlot type weight cattle and they were going from around about three dollars seventy

01:07to just a tick over four dollars a kilo. Then you got back onto the smaller lighter run steers and

01:13of course there'd be another thousand of those down the back end of the yards here and they were

01:18all heavy weighted in price per kilo. So a lot of those calves, four dollars to four dollars fifty.

01:26Very, very strong sale. Support the North Port, a number of the calves.

01:32Campbell Ross, he sent a number, quite a number to Gibbousland. The Wangaratta, there would have

01:37been four or five hundred go to Wangaratta. Shepparton would have attended. It's a local area.

01:41I'd say the bulky yarding here today would have ended up back in the paddock somewhere.

01:46So yeah, overall, tremendous sale. Congratulations to all the sellers and good luck to the buyers.

01:51See you next week.
